Vali's plugins are simply world-class, and as you say, the annual subscription is not very much. It is the
one subscription I do not mind paying for every year. The benefits for daily use are significant.
As I understand it, the wall tool is only for exterior use as shown by the illustrations for that plugin, not for residential or commercial wall building. I would check with Mr. Vali directly about the wall tool for how you want to use it to see if it is possible.
That question aside, the plugins, are superb, and the one I use the most, the WINDOW & DOOR tool is simply outstanding. Better than even the win/door tools in Archicad or Vectorworks.
You cannot go wrong with this series of tools in your Sketchup quiver.
PS. For the quick design of walls (and the ability to edit your rooms, etc.) DIBAC is very good, and as an interior designer, do not forget to purchase (if you have not done so already) CABMAKER PRO. Also of the same depth and sophistication to Vali's plugins.
Thanks so much for the replay,I bought windows and doors, i was wondering if the walls one is good for quick walls... i see that it can create super detailed things like collinades arches etc... but i could not find anything that shows quick simple wall creation.. I like the idea of beaing able to draw out a floor plan and have the walls automatically created with thickness height , and other details... then doping in doors and windows in. I know creating simple walls in sketchup isnt really hard but it would be cool to simplify it even further... is this a feature with the walls do you know? I really don't think i need all the other detailed things at this time... so i am not sure ei need the plugin if it is easier for me just to create the walls myself... since i really just need basic walls... now if i can create walls with crown molding, baseboard details etc... that would be well worth it.. but i could not find a tutorial on something this simple... if you know the answer that would be great!
